About
One wedding a day, guaranteed: on your date, Mabel is yours alone. She's a bright blue and white 1971 VW camper based in Stratford-upon-Avon, and I'm Mark – her owner, your chauffeur and, officially, Head of Smiles & Steering.
We're new, and proud of it. Chrome & Confetti launches for the 2027 season, but it has been years in the making. Mabel began life in Seattle, lived with six different families, crossed the Atlantic, and was then rebuilt from the chassis up over four years in Stratford-upon-Avon, with a great deal of love, patience and, frankly, money. Her interior is finished in Lamborghini leather; the photos will tell you the rest.
Behind her sit more than 35 years of looking after people, including a long career in commercial transport, latterly as a Managing Director, alongside hospitality and entertainment. Getting people and vehicles to the right place at the right time has been my day job for a very long time. That experience is what makes your day run smoothly: you deal with me from your first message to the moment Mabel pulls up, and nothing is left to chance.
The essentials are never an upsell. Chilled water, mints, tissues, umbrellas, hand fans, blankets, a little emergency kit, ribbons and photo time come as standard in every package.
Properly organised behind the smiles. A personalised written quotation, a clear Booking Agreement, a planning call nine weeks before, and a Wedding Day Overview with every time and address on it.
Our packages:
The Confetti Cruise – from £395
A stylish ceremony entrance and time for photographs, without building Mabel into your whole day. Up to 3 hours of hire, one collection and onward arrival at your ceremony, 30 minutes of photo time with Mabel after the ceremony, and a pre-wedding planning call to confirm routes and timings.
The Full Mabel Moment – from £525
Our signature package: the journey to 'I do' and on to the party. Everything in The Confetti Cruise, plus up to 4 hours of hire, one reception transfer, ribbons and bows in your colours, and 1 hour of photo time with Mabel after the ceremony.
The Whole Shebang – from £695
Mabel with you from the very first pick-up all the way to your reception. Everything in The Full Mabel Moment, plus up to 5 hours of hire, multiple collections before the ceremony, and 2 hours of photo time with Mabel.
The Just Married Experience – from £195 (add to any package)
A private 30-minute drive, just the two of you, straight after the ceremony. Escape, breathe, and finally get five minutes together before the celebrations sweep you up. Perfect if your ceremony and reception are at the same venue.
Something different in mind?
If none of these quite fits your day, just ask for a tailor-made day - we'll shape Mabel's time to whatever you want.
A word about our pictures. As a brand-new business, we don't yet have photographs from real weddings. So that you can picture your own day, our wedding scenes are AI-created illustrations featuring Mabel and we'd never pretend otherwise, all new businesses need to start somewhere. Our first real wedding photographs will replace them from summer 2027. Until then, the best way to see her is in person: viewings are free, by appointment.
Mabel is at home at barns, manor houses, country churches, Cotswold hotels, gardens and festival-style celebrations. She isn't a Rolls-Royce, and between us, she's rather pleased about that. If you'd like style without stiffness, and a wedding car your guests are still talking about at the evening party, she'd love to meet you.
Based in Stratford-upon-Avon, covering Warwickshire, the Cotswolds, Worcestershire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and the Midlands. Weddings May to September; enquiries welcome all year, and I usually reply within 24 hours.
